Water Efficiency Measures Can Lead to a Significant Reduction in Water and Sewer Costs

Many communities and businesses are struggling with the challenge of supporting growth and its associated demand for safe drinking water. Water conservation is an important tool for reducing water demand. Energy New England (ENE), provides water conservation services that promote the benefits of water conservation and solutions to reduce water usage.

The cornerstone of ENE’s water conservation services is our Water Audit Program. The purpose of a water audit is to educate consumers about the wise use of water, and to make their homes and businesses as water efficient as possible. During the audit, a trained water conservation inspector will identify appropriate conservation measures while detailing the resulting financial benefits.
